Steller’s Jay on the snag. This winter has been good for corvids in our neighborhood. Pinyon Jays are regulars, and we have a small number of Scrub Jays. Ravens are a given. And we have at least a pair of Clark’s nutcrackers, a bird I’d never heard of until I moved here.
@cliffordbeshers Steller’s jay is my personal favorite. When I moved here from the East Coast, it was the first new bird I learned to recognize in my new home.
@jean @cliffordbeshers Steller's Jays are one of my favorites too. I used to enjoy feeding them whole peanuts at the homestead.
@cliffordbeshers Love them! Here on the east coast our only jays are bluejays, gorgeous birds. I've always enjoyed my few trips to CA to see scrub jays, Steller's etc.
